Charlie Dominici's Awkward Moment

Charlie Dominici was in a meeting after the release of "When Day and Dream Unite", the debut Dream Theater album. At this time, he had a
major crush on a woman named Clarissa Lee. In the meeting, things were going well, and the thought of Clarissa Lee entering the room was
the very last thing he could possibly expect.

Then fifteen minutes before the meeting ended, Clarissa entered the room, and sat down.
Charlie Dominici froze, and his heart started beating extremely hard. His face was red, and he started trembling in a state of awkward
nervousness. He was taken unbelievably off guard. He saw that Clarissa was looking at him, and he also knew that she possibly knew he was
acting this way because she entered. He felt somewhat embarrassed, and out of control.

He then made an immediate attempt to try to correct the situation, and act naturally. He took the papers he was presenting earlier in the meeting, and started flipping through them. Five
seconds into this, his speed increased, and his hands started shaking. He knew this wasn't helping at all, and was even more awkward. Then
he stood up, and in a trembling voice said, "Radiohead is a terrible band! I would hope that Dream Theater would never sound like that!"
(He had already made this statement earlier in the meeting). He realized this was only making things worse. At this point, he had lost all
control. He sat in the chair, and took out a bottle of alcohol. He opened the bottle, and yelled, "I am a recovering alcoholic! I am a
recovering alcoholic!" He drank it as fast as he could, and accidentally drank to fast, causing him to caugh really hard. He banged his
head up and down while coughing hard, and screamed, "Smoke! Smoke! Awful smoke!"

Then he lied down on the table on the side, and made an awfully ugly face, stiffened his joints, and shrugged his shoulders. He put his hands to his mouth, and forced a high pitch cough, and each
time he coughed, his entire body jerked. In between screams, he screamed, "I'm sick at home! I'm sick at home!" Then he pulled out a ruler,
stood up straight, smiled with his mouth closed, and banged it on the table. He pulled out a pen out of his briefcase, and threw it against
the floor while smiling. Then he screamed, "Charlie Dominici! Charlie Dominici!" He went over to the shake making machine, and made a shake
while smiling in the same manner. After he made it he screamed, "It's a shake! It's the shake that was worshipped!" He then started
drinking it. Then he poured some chocolate syrup in a cup and screamed, "Amanda Bynes is not the world's greatest chocolate lover! I am! I
love chocolate! Nothing comes between me and chocolate!" He poured some chocolate syrup on his shake, and continued drinking it. He said,
"How dare Amanda Bynes try to compete with me! I love chocolate!"

He then looked over at one of the people in the meeting, who was wearing dark rimmed glasses, and worked at a bank as an accountant. He screamed, "A bank! You work at a bank! You look like the banker in the movie 'Where the Buffalo Roam!' HAHAHAHA! You are a bank account!" The man he screamed this at looked really frightened, and yes, looked just
like the man with black rimmed glasses on the airplane in the movie "Where the Buffalo Roam". Then he made a furious face and screamed, "I
can't believe he got away! I did everything right! How could he have gotten away!" He then walked over to the man with dark rimmed glasses,
and screamed, "Do you want more money?! Do you have a career?!" Then he took a bottle of whipped cream, and sprayed it in his mouth while
making loud groans. Then he started banging the table as loud as he could with his hands while smiling with his mouth closed. He took out a
sack lunch, took out a sandwich, and drenched it in seasonings and peppers. He forced a man in the room to eat it, and screamed, "It is
seasoned! It has flavoring! Eat it!"

Then he walked up to a woman who looked the most disgusted of all of them, and screamed, "We don't
have time for your personality disorder! Get back to work!" Then he acted calm, and looked somewhat more pleasant, and went over to the man
with dark rimmed glasses and said, "I'm ready to behave now. Please get that thing out of here! (Pointing to the woman he just screamed
at)." Then he sat down in his chair and screamed, "I didn't get any napkins! Give me some napkins! You call this a drive through service? I
sure don't!". He then got up, walked over to the other side of the room, and looked in the corner with a serious face, looking busy. He
stopped for five seconds, looked around the room, and saw everyone staring at him. He turned more red than he had ever turned in his entire
life. He realized what a fool he had made out of himself, and ran out of the room as fast as he could. On his way home he kept thinking, "I
don't have a chance with Clarissa! How could I have been so stupid! It's not fair!"
